| IRL: IRL appoints Randy Bernard as CEO |
by Mathias Olaf Uncertain

dotdotdotcomma staff reporters snorted into their tea this morning at the news that the IndyCar Series has appointed Randy Bernard as its new chief executive officer.
Much speculation ensued as to which Bernard this news referred to and what aspects of his, um, romantic encounters earned him that particular soubriquet, with current favourites including Sumner, Matthews and Winters, with the less said about turkeys and Schnorbitz the better.
Further research revealed that what had previously been interpreted as a mere epithet was, in fact, an actual name (tsk - those yanks, eh?) and Randy Bernard was, in fact, previously head of the Professional Bull Riders' organisation, a fact which those there assembled found even more amusing for some reason. Still, could be worse - the head honcho of Formula One is the supreme grand vizier of the Professional Bullshitters' Organisation.
The change of leadership comes at a crucial time for the IndyCar Series, which is still struggling to build momentum after the deeply damaging 12-year war between IRL and ChampCar. Leading motorsport commentators note that ChampCar appears to have come off the worse in that little fracas.
